A 60-m-long steel wire is subjected to a 6-kN tensile load. Knowing that E = 200 GPa and that the length of the rod increases by 48 mm, determine a) the smallest diameter that can be selected for the wire. b) the corresponding normal stress.

(a) 6.91 mm (b) 160 MPa

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

E = 200 GPa

The rod length = 48 mm

P =P¹ = 6 kN

Recall that,

1 kN = 10^3 N

1 m =10^3 mm

I GPa = 10^9 N/m²

Thus

The rod deformation is stated as follows:

δ = PL/AE(1)

σ = P/A(2)

Now,

(a) We substitute the values in equation and obtain the following:

48 * 10 ^⁻3 m =  (6 * 10³ N) (60 m)/A[ 200 * 10^9 N/m^2]

Thus, we simplify

A = (6 * 10³) (60)/ ( 200 * 10^9) (48 * 10 ^⁻3)m²

A =0.0375 * 10 ^⁻3 m²

A =37.5 mm²

A = π/4 d²

Thus,

d² = 4A /π

After inserting the values we have,

d = √37.5 * 4/3.14 mm

= 6.9116 mm

or d = 6.91 mm

Therefore, the smallest that should be used is 6.91 mm

(B) To determine the corresponding normal stress that is caused by the tensile force, we input the values in equation (2)

Thus,

σ = P/A

σ= 6 * 10 ^ 3 N/ 37. 5 * 10 ^⁻6 m²

σ= 160 MPa

Note: I MPa = 10^6 N/m²

Hence the the corresponding normal stress is σ= 160 MPa

d would be the most obvious choice to this question. leaders are supposed to herd their underlings like a shepherd to sheep. a leader should also listen to others when they are talking to one other to gain a better understanding of their mission and surroundings.
